Woke up cold one Tuesday I'm looking tired and feeling quite sick I felt like there was something missing in my day to day life So I quickly opened the wardrobe Pulled out some jeans and a t-shirt that seemed clean Topped it off with a pair of old shoes that were ripped around the seams And I thought, "These shoes just don't suit me" Hey I put some new shoes on and suddenly everything is right I said hey I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling It's so inviting Oh Short on money but long on time Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine And I'm running late And I don't need an excuse 'cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes Woke up late one Thursday And I'm seeing stars as I'm rubbing my eyes And I felt like there were two days missing as I focused all the time And I made my way to the kitchen But I had to stop from the shock of what I found A room full of all my friends dancing round and round And I thought, "Hello new shoes Bye bye blues" Hey I put some new shoes on and suddenly everything is right I said hey I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling It's so inviting Oh Short on money but long on time Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine And I'm running late And I don't need an excuse 'cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes Oh Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Take me wandering through these streets Where bright lights and angels meet
